Horizon Insider Maiden Flight: Blade 230 S V2 

Thanks for making this. When your spending over $200 its good to see an honest review. I love the sound of those brushless heli's, what a wicked sound like a laughing hyiena

Awesome little chopper,would love to have one to fly out here in the country.

Outstanding job!!

Awesome! But a little windy, looks like 15-knots or better. I've been an EF EDF Viper 70/90mm pilot, and I have always had a huge curiosity for helicopters. This little spitfire looks like a great beginning to what might become another monstrosity in my RC addiction! 🙂 Thank you for this great little video.

Is there a v3 ? I been flying the 130s for years now and want something a bit bigger.

Hello everyone and Happy New Year ! I just received the Blade 230S Smart BNF equipped with the AR6250MHXA. How to insert the Bind Plug association socket without dismantling everything? In addition, besides the fact that my fingers do not pass and that I do not see the plugs, a plug is already connected to the BIND plug ..... My radio is a Spektrum DX6 G2 EU. All have a happy new year 2022!

Nice please bring back the parkzone visionaire

It really looks great if I can turn it upside down I would use it as lawn mower😀

Can I ask, were you in SAFE mode on this flight?

sounds like a real damn helicopter

I have both the Blade 230 S an the OMP Hobby M2. I think the M2 is a superior machine from my perspective. The tail is more tuned out of the box, an tends to not blow out as much as the Blade. There isn't really a "right or wrong" of which machine, they are both excellent, but the OMP Hobby is a bit more refined, IMO.

Do you recommend hovering first before a set amount of fight time?

I like seeing someone else just thumbing the sticks instead of pinching lol

With little cp experience, I would have left it out of idle up a while :)

Failed to mention if this bnf or rtf & if it is, why didnt you showcased the tx, also. ? Nice Flight for being your 1st. It only gets easier from now. Toggling to Pain Mode takes longer, just gotta look @ it as another challange. 👍

You Feeling Blade, Kyle?

Nano S2 or this one? for a beginner of collective pitch heli's

Does it give beginner to expert mode? Please reply to the question, I like to buy it but I have to know if it give 3 modes

so basically its pure chaos until you crash it lol

We shall see it didnt go so well for my 330s it only flew for 20 secs and it had a fatal crash. Come to find out the firmware wasnt updated, the swash plate wasnt balanced and many other things. But my personal contact at HH assures me that they will make it all right, except its going to take up to a year to get it back??? So I bought this one and we shall see how it goes. I will let you know!!

Sounds like the tail never stops hunting & it needs the gyro adjusted

I love that these helios are becoming easier for new pilots with SAFE an GPS with some of them. BUT....learn to fly without that crutch, an in the long run you'll be a better pilot. If you're always having a nanny helping you fly, you will never learn or be confident to advance to do things these systems cannot handle, like 3D flight. There is also the Fly Wing FW200, which is, as I believe, the smallest helicopter with GPS, which means you can hands-off hover, even do basic inverted tricks without issue. It will even return to home position an land itself. This is awesome, but it is a crutch if you don't know how to fly beforehand. Of these type of helis, I don't think they are "beginner-friendly", but more in tune with the pilot that has some basic skill an just wants to relax.

Guess they have stopped making this one though.

Why does it chirp like that?

It sounds like an upset astromech droid.

There are umpteen videos on youtube telling you how easy the 230S is to fly. The truth is it isn't. There are so many things you need to get right before you even fly it. In SAFE mode it is almost unflyable, you don't have enough control. The most important point is that it isn't ment to hover. It comes out of the box very tailheavy. I have built and/or flown almost 100 helis, including two examples of the 230S, and it is by far the worst.

Shouldn't be your first heli, fly fixed pitch 4 channel below first! To those think this will be your first.

I have probleme with my NEW Blade 230sV2 RTF. when I switch on intermediate mode the engine start himself Gaz down!! here the video :ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pEg7gxtpcjE.html

I would get a Heli, but I would want one with GPS and Altitude control, like a quadcopter. Basically a helicopter, but flies more like a drone.

These heli made me: "I will never buy >blade< again". It even doesn't have any of 3 modes... I cant bind it, it flies like a something which flies very very bad, and parts... man they are too expensive for this circus! Why won't you make a vid where you show how to bind it?!?!?

Not sure what the point of this was. It didn't tell me anything about how easy, or difficult, the model is to fly. Just a video of a guy hovering a heli (with some really bad sound quality)

Look and listen to your tail rotor it's awful… I have flown 3 of these helicopters they all have the same problem the tail rotor is absolutely horrible. The PID settings are so wacko from the factory you're just flying junk. A lot of people don't know how to use or set up the PID including myself but after much trial and error and a lot of time just trying numbers and reading up the best you can I finally got it to be so so acceptable… Not perfect and the numbers for the PID are so far off factory settings they should be ashamed. I have 2 of these that are now flying okay but out-of-the-box this helicopter is not very good. And as for people learning to tune them that's not fair and most people won't be able to. Overall rating of 10 I give this helicopter only a 3… If they would tune it properly from the factory I would have given it a 6

Good grief..donate your money to the poor who don't have food!!
